We haven't been toooo terrible overall though. Mixon is averaging 3.7 ypc in the playoffs.
For comparison, the Rams duo of Akers (2.8 ypc) and Michel (3.3 ypc) has been pretty rough.
Both the Bengals and Rams have stuck with the run, despite the lack of success. It's something I'll definitely be looking for on Sunday. Will either team be able to run the ball well?
Even at 60%, the Rams would have to account for him. When Sample is in, the defense can almost forget he exists.
Not to mention the morale boost. These guys love Ceej.
Akers is demonstrating he's prone to fumbling. I hope our guys make the effort to knock the ball lose when going in for the tackle.
